I'm not looking for technical support; I'm just looking for a way to 
report a bug and possibly help debug/resolve it.  But as you know, 
Digium's website gives FFA users no clear to contact them - even to 
report problems.  issues.asterisk.org has no selection for 
res_fax_digium since it is not bundled with Asterisk.  I call that 
willful blindness.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for FFA and Asterisk in general - I 
have several running 1.8.2 working correctly.

I didnt expect anyone on this list to be interested, but I suppose 
you're right.

This weekend, i set up a new system running Asterisk 1.8.2 on Debian 
5.0.7 where the benchmark told me to use 
res_fax_digium-1.8.0_1.2.1-core2_32 (i also tried generic_32 but that 
crashed as well).

Asterisk correctly detects the fax and transfers to the fax context. 
But moments after ReceiveFax is called, asterisk crashes, with no tif 
written where I've directed it to.

I have several files including backtraces and config files at
